In a game of revision and counter-revision, the title holder for the biggest worldwide opening in history — which has passed during the past few days from “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” to “The Matrix Revolutions” and then back to “Two Towers” — is once again in the “Matrix” camp.
After adding in some late-arriving international grosses, Warner Bros. is now claiming victory for “The Matrix Revolutions,” which amassed $202.8 million in its first five days since opening last Wednesday. That puts it slightly ahead of New Line’s “Towers,” which racked up $201.9 million in its first five days late last year.
